Leave your thoughts about 52Hz, I Love You.
| South China Morning PostEdmund LeeFeaturing a cast of pop singers, 52Hz, I Love You proves to be a pleasant trifle, which does a far more effective job of pleasing the ear than stirring the heart. |
| User ReviewTony CThis movie has no purpose. The characters are under-developed. Their aspirations in the movie are either unclear, or clear and pathetic. The plot has the coherence of an insecure teenager with an identity crisis. The dialogue has the depth of a commercial--less, actually. Everything lacks context, or reason, or logic. Nothing makes sense in any meaningful way. 52 Hz is supposed to be a "happy" movie. Nobody in the movie is happy, or sad, or hopeful, or hopeless, or anything. Everything is a soundbite. This movie celebrates the ability to have a wide range of fake emotions without being intelligent in any way. It romanticizes emptiness. 52 Hz is a musical, but they really saved the budget on the music. Imagine Transformers with low-budget special effects. Someone should tell the director that no matter how cheap the music is, the movie is still 110 minutes, 110 minutes which people have to sit through. The 50 minutes of cheap music don't just disappear because they are cheap. A beer commercial serves a purpose. |
